HCA: Hermit Crab Association

Hi! I want to put rocks in my pools and I bought 100% natural river rocks but noticed they are made in China so someone said they could have a sealed film on them. I was going to go to our local beach but someone said they might have contaminants. What would you suggest I use for rocks? Thanks!

Thank you!

Hi all! Do you boil your new shells when you get them? Freshwater or saltwater? With prime I assume?

How many big you feed your crabs dehydrated foods versus powdered versus freeze dried? I give fresh for now but they are not that interested and I want to make sure they are healthy. Feeling overwhelmed. Thanks!

Thanks!

Do you cook the oatmeal? With water? Where exactly do you order from?

Awesome! Thanks all!

Thanks!

Where do you put your food in the tank?

Hi! My tank is kind of dark in the day and I just want a little light to see inside in the day.

Thank you so much!! If I don't have a dehydrator, where can I buy those things?

You crush the dehydrated things into powders? Do you just put the powders in the food bowl and change daily? How do you know if or which crabs are eating other than the obvious disappearance of the food? Our hermit crabs are new and I almost never see them.

Hi all! Do you cook your veggies or give them raw?

Thank you all!

Thanks!
